Justin returns from living abroad in the hope of reconnecting with the biological daughter that he gave up for adoption. His plans go awry when he finds out his father left the family cottage to his stepsister.
官場-權貴-民意三方博弈，民告官求索不易，須內訌、犧牲，須受刑、扎心、忍辱，須合作、接力、借勢。人均有目的，好官想升官，壞人要捂嘴，多交稅的要分攤，少交稅的要維持。重點人物有兩面性，中性刻畫群像，方石像猥瑣發育成方青天，鄧知縣赤子之心被削平，紈绔賭徒激發能量但也怕死，程訟棍遭受不公而投奔不公終被不公拋棄決心重新站隊，黃知府劉巡按一臉正氣只為政績很快被反噬敗北逐回。正一帥家默反一范淵相對扁平，帥家默暈倒、閃回技能過多且高潮回憶起全部的設定本來就容易概念先行。兩個女性角色無功無過，豐姐花錢造輿論之舉很創意。演宋仁的房子斌老師在小龔叔叔后迎來演技爆發。
